Chapter 661 Warning
Because Balenna College is close to the port, it directly took over the task of receiving Houdini and Karen's envoys. As a result, Congressman Rotika has direct jurisdiction over specific affairs. At this time, he was holding the budget form written by his subordinates, and after a quick glance, he opened his mouth and reprimanded:
"Houdini said that the envoy of the Karen Kingdom brought his own guards? Hehe, that's good. Let him do the show himself. What does this have to do with us? What is the welcome ceremony you wrote about? Stuff? Is it too much to spend so much budget on finding someone to throw flower petals in formation? What kind of onion is an envoy from a small place like the Karen Kingdom? It’s just a way to save face by asking him to come here temporarily!”
The attitude towards the envoy obviously represents a mainstream ideology of the current national ruler. At the beginning, in order to decorate the appearance, Charles II wished to pull everyone out and put them into vases for others to see, so as to show his dominance, but it was also pretending to be forceful. Work hard.
Not all countries are "states of etiquette". The group of mages who run the country like Laximan are obviously purists, and they don't bother to be superficial.
The subordinate who was reprimanded understood what the councilor meant, so he deleted and revised the contents of the list on the spot, and submitted it: "My lord, what do you think of this?"
Originally, the residence he arranged for Rody and the others was located in a high-end hotel near the "Collen Mill" magic tower, but now with the instructions of the senator, it is natural to go to Tucker Lane, which is the cheapest place, to finish the job. A slum area, but basically a street of taverns for retail merchants and hawkers.
"In terms of food, I will just say hello to these taverns when the time comes, as long as they can make do with food, if they are not satisfied, they can pay for it themselves."
Having said that, Councilor Rotika nodded in satisfaction: "That's right, good magic crystals must be used in high-level magic circles. These small characters who are living for nothing can be dismissed casually. Anyway, when the time comes I will let them experience what despair is."
Mr. Rotika's remarks were not made in private, but have been expressed publicly on many occasions. However, instead of attracting criticism, his words won the unanimous approval of the political circle. This situation naturally illustrates a remarkable fact: the values of the Rahiman Kingdom are like this.
Their prejudice and arrogance towards the Karen kingdom is a pre-set position. Therefore, for this kind of "weakness", I didn't think about giving any respect... because "the weak are not worthy of respect" is the common belief of mages.
What is the messenger of contempt? In fact, Balenna Academy was secretly tense. They did not forget the news that Houdini sent back then, so no matter what method they used this time, they had to make the Karen Kingdom realize that they did not deserve to have a relationship with Rahiman. Even trading rights.
And as for the "cobalt gold mine"...they are naturally ready for another move.
Jeremy, the speaker of the parliament, is actually very clear about Barrena's undisguised remarks and methods. But just because it was clear, he didn't make any comments on it.
Where there is a conflict of interest, Houdini himself caused trouble by being stupid, and Jeremy is not the umbrella of the Brenka Academy, so naturally he will not help and he also knows that such "sitting and watching" is actually tantamount to biasing Barr Renner.
But for the sake of Rahiman as a whole, Balenna directly pointed the finger at the envoys of the Kingdom of Karen, which was exactly the result he wanted... Magicians are too lazy to spend time being polite, and some people are willing to go there immediately. To test the other party, Jeremy absolutely wished for it.
Facing the huge gap in strength, will these foreign visitors be unable to bear it? Jeremy has thought about this kind of problem, but he is not worried about any results: bear it if you can bear it, and get out if you can't bear it. Rahiman is not an orphanage. He will only respect the strong and not the weak. show mercy.
This is the foundation of Master Laximan's founding of the country. Otherwise, how could the dozen or so small countries around them obediently bow their heads and surrender? How is it possible to send a team to offer offerings every year?
Speaker Jeremy finished reading the minutes of today's meeting and briefly wrote the outline for the next meeting. He got up and walked to the laboratory in a daze for a few seconds, then he sighed and turned to leave.
He really wanted to continue to complete the experiment according to his own idea, but obviously the bottleneck encountered in this experiment was more serious than imagined. After repeated experiments for a month, he still couldn't get qualified data, and he felt that there was a problem in front of him. dead end.
But how easy is it to change the experimental method? The limitations of the existing conditions made him have to interrupt the experiment. Jeremy felt that he needed to relax completely and rest his mind these few days. Simply repeating the experiment was meaningless to him.
Leaving the Magic Tower, with a bag of fishing gear on his back, Speaker Jeremy put on a straw hat and strolled to the cliffs at the edge of the city. He looked at the boulder hit by the waves, and saw a familiar figure as expected, and then directly used the "Levitation Technique" to step down from the cliff and came to the old guy who was fishing.
He casually tapped some rocks with his magic wand, as if the melted stones immediately conjured up a suitable bench. Jeremy slowly loaded the fishing gear and bait, flicked the hook, sat down safely and began to wait.
The old man next to him has white beard and hair, and looks older than Jeremy. Although he was wearing a washed and whitish linen jacket, he was actually a resounding and strong Laximan.
In terms of combat capability, this old man is much stronger than Jeremy, and he can be called a strategic existence. However, he is proficient in combat and lax in research, so he does not insist on experimenting and writing papers like Jeremy.
"It looks like you guys are making a big show, why are you still in the mood to go fishing now? Shouldn't you be so busy that you can't sleep?"
The old man's voice was very easy-going, with the fishing rod propped by his feet, he looked like he was wasting his time in the sun. This kind of rock originally had a lot of noise due to the continuous beating of the waves, but because of the existence of the "silent barrier", Speaker Jeremy could hear the old man's words clearly.
"These things are trivial, and there is nothing to worry about. Fishing is also for changing the mood. The recent experiment is not going well."
Jeremy's tone was a little respectful. After all, the old man in front of him was a senior. Even if he didn't participate in politics, his words still carried a lot of weight.
"Really? I guess you have to worry about another one. I plan to visit you in a few days. I didn't expect such a coincidence today, so let me tell you."
Jeremy frowned slightly, and his face became more serious. The old man usually never talks much, and it's probably not a trivial matter at this time. He saw the other party wave his hand, and a ball of ice floated up from under the surface of the sea, in which was frozen the corpse of a ferocious-looking "murloc" who lacked arms and legs!
